08:00 – Your local guide and driver will warmly greet you at your hotel to begin a full day of exploring the vibrant and historical heart of Ho Chi Minh City.
08:15 – 08:45 – Our first stop is Notre Dame Cathedral and the Saigon Central Post Office — two iconic French-colonial landmarks. The red-brick cathedral, built between 1863 and 1880, features twin bell towers standing over 58 meters tall.
09:00 – 10:00 – Continue to the War Remnants Museum, one of the most visited sites in Vietnam. Here, powerful exhibits and photographs provide deep insight into the Vietnam War, including collections by journalists who lost their lives in conflict.

14:00 – In the afternoon, we explore Cholon (Chinatown) and the Thien Hau Temple, an atmospheric temple dedicated to the sea goddess Mazu, surrounded by bustling alleys, herb shops, and traditional stores that reflect the rich cultural blend of Chinese-Vietnamese heritage.
16:30 – Conclude your day at the famous Ben Thanh Market. This bustling market is a symbol of the city and a perfect place to browse local handicrafts, souvenirs, textiles, and street food.
